There is something deeply weird about seeing four people onstage at a Low gig. In recent years, it has often seemed as if Alan Sparhawk, in particular, has sought to transcend or subvert people’s expectations of how Low should sound. Surely, though, filling out the sound with a keyboard player is tantamount to sacrilege?
So this is pretty amazing. On yesterday's blog, Paul McLoughlin asked me to put our playlists onto Spotify, and I rolled out my usual excuses. Nick Watt, however, decided to take matters into his own hands, and consequently, Wild Mercury Sound now seems to be on Spotify.
Some good things here, and a couple of stinkers. Beyond this, though, I’m onto one of my seasonal Dead jags: their early ‘70s stuff has been perfect for long, bright, early walks these past few mornings.
